That's right. Are you saying that would actually work for you? That makes me worry for your soul.
Only if He wants to do terrible things to good people.
If the Holy Spirit requires submitting to do terrible things to good people - then I whole-heartedly contend that the secular-human-Spirit is waaaaaaay above the Holy Spirit.
I don't advocate "whatever works" or whatever it takes to achieve peace. If anyone's on the side of doing terrible things to good people - I'm against them.
That's a good start
Can you name one? We may agree more than you think.
Sounds like you have good intentions. I don't care about what you intend. And, if you do terrible things to good people, regardless of your intentions - then my Spirit is obviously much better than yours. Equal Spirits are a good thing.
I think it's good (and required) to be vigilant.
Again - if "the culture changes" include doing less terrible things to good people - I'm all for them.
Sounds like a huge, open wound just waiting to be poisoned.
As long as it includes not doing terrible things to good people - I'll be the first to submit!!
I don't really care if "personified" evil exists or not. Sometimes people do terrible things to good people. If you agree - then we have equal Spirits.

I prayed the rosary under a giant crucifixion scene statuary at the Divine Mercy Shrine.
being around praying priests. ill-lit national shrine of our lord of divine mercy at 5pm. yet Christ is always illumined. "Jesus I Trust In You" protestants create senseless dogmas while catholics bask in the apostolate of Our Lord of Divine Mercy. Divine Mercy. we have the vocabularly of The Word. protestants are intellectually more vacuous than Christ's tomb Divine Mercy grafted me to Christ, like a divine estuary, I've been kept alive by divine mercy. no one on this forum understands divine mercy and I understand it, but I lack the drive to personally practice its devotions divine mercy we exist to serve the less fortunate. evolutionary science will never tell you that there's no evolutionary benefit to keeping a mentally damaged person around, is there? broodmare for future offspring. grace wraps my soul with Divine Mercy even under the light of Divine Mercy here to serve the disabled an apostolate of divine mercy to serve the disabled Edited by a servant of Christ, : Nietzsche

I wonder why so many believers are total nutters?

I don't think I understand a word Servant of Christ said.
What's a "nutter?" Someone who believes in the supernatural? Do you have a good definition?

Yeah, well I knew that much. Can you be more specific about people who hold religious beliefs, or more specific yet: about servant of Christ's post?

Not all people with religious beliefs are nutters - in fact very few of them are - just the real fundies. But my, we've got one here.

And someday when people have failed without God, the secular humanists will blame the behavior of the humans in bringing about the tough times rather than the idea that it is a spiritual war and must happen. Yeah I have nutty beliefs. If God didn't exist and if there were no deceiving spirits, your position would be most rational.

So you claim, but all you can argue is that there is a lack of evidence, not considering that not everything can be evidenced objectively by everyone. Thus you say we are nutters. Unfortunately, many of us are crazy, carnal, and undisciplined, so we shoot our credibility in the foot...

And someday when people have failed without Zeus, ... And someday when people have failed without Wotan (AKA "Odin", who literally gave his right eye in order to learn the secret of the Runes (just for you), ... And someday when people have failed without Ahura Mazda, the Lord of Light, ... And someday when people have failed without Krishna, ... And someday when people have failed without the Tao, ... And someday when people have failed without Vishnu, ... And someday when people have failed without Bel and Anu (the actual divine sources of Mosaic Law), ... And someday when people have failed without any one of the more than thousands of gods that have ever existed (because Man has created them all), ...
Of course, you can offer no alternative, since you have to weigh in which to determine which one of the thousands of gods to choose to follow. But think about this for a moment. In your scenario, the secular humanist is trying to analyze the problem, to determine its cause, and to propose a solution. You instead call for spiritual war and want no other outcome than horrendous bloodshed. Wouldn't it be more rational to try to seek a solution? Edited by dwise1, : Farking icehole of a censor!
